One thought on “Six people were killed by a cyclone”

Hi Congying, I see that most of the main facts come early in the story, which is good. However, it would be better if you shaped them into a two-sentence introduction as requested. This is good practice for writing a standfirst in other online writing examples we will meet in coming weeks. Your heading could say where the cyclone hit and would be better in the present tense. Nevertheless, a good effort.
